Lao People's Democratic Republic Energy Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map
This sector assessment, strategy, and road map (ASR) reviews the state of the energy sector of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). Consistent with the government’s plans and strategy, the ASR proposes supportive actions for the energy sector to be taken by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) during 2019–2022. It also provides sector background information, which will be updated as needed for investment and technical assistance operations. The ASR is a working paper based on a systematic review of the Lao PDR’s energy sector and consultations with the government and other development partners.
The ASR is linked with and informs ADB’s country partnership strategy (CPS) for the Lao PDR. The current CPS (2017–2020) sets out principles for assistance and partnership between ADB and the Lao PDR. The CPS is aligned with the government’s policies and priorities and draws upon ADB’s new Strategy 2030.1 Published in July 2018, Strategy 2030 outlines a framework for ADB’s overall operations for 2030. The ASR will also be used for the preparation of the next CPS (2021–2025).
